Samson V-Licious Rockies 11.4mm (150 ft)

Samson V-Licious climbing rope is a 24-strand arborist climbing line, and this listing is the Rockies colorway in 11.4 mm by 150 feet. The slimmer diameter keeps it light in the bag and smooth in many mechanical devices.

The 11.4mm size and 150 foot length

V-Licious comes in more than one diameter and color, so check the listing before you reorder. At 11.4 mm this is the slimmer version, which saves weight and runs smoothly through many rope wrenches and SRS devices. A slimmer line can feel grabbier in some friction hitches, so match your hitch cord to it.

150 feet covers most trees climbed with a moving-rope system and many SRS climbs. If you work tall trees with basal anchors, look at 200 foot lengths in our 24-strand climbing rope section.

A bright, distinctive color also helps keep your climbing line separate from rigging ropes in the truck, and makes it easier to see in the canopy.

Pairing and inspection

Always check that your device or rope wrench lists 11.4 mm in its approved rope range, and test the system low to the ground before you leave it. New rope can run differently once the cover breaks in.

Inspect the rope from end to end before each climb for cuts, glazing, soft or stiff spots and exposed core, and keep it bagged away from saws and chemicals. Life-support use must follow ANSI Z133, the manufacturer's instructions, and your training, and the gear should be inspected before every climb.
